Birstall will again host two events for the Midlands PGA this year, with the KCC Midland Open being staged on Thursday, May 18 and Friday, May 19 and reverting to its previous format with the professionals playing one round each day in the company of their amateur colleagues.

The date change means the competition becomes the first on the Midlands PGA Order of Merit, with many of the professionals returning on Friday, June 30 for the Air Ambulance Charity Pro-Am.
